You know you're in Texas when you see this kind of traffic coming down the street.   We had a delightful but all too brief visit to catch up with family and friends.  We even squeezed in a few hours of sightseeing.

We returned to find Jasper's mushroom kit had gone from featuring pin-sized babies to things we could easily recognize as actual mushrooms.  Two days later they are getting quite hefty, but a pocket mirror reveals their gills are still closed, so they may be enormous before they're done.  Jasper became thoroughly fascinated with mushrooms in the fall, when mushrooms seem to be everywhere you look in the Pacific Northwest.  Watching them grow is quite a treat.  Our kit came from Park Seeds, which seems to be out of stock of this kind right now, but I found another company selling all kinds of tasty varieties. http://www.mushroomadventures.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&zenid=jb6o56no1mjfcit85umg54iqu2
